Warning: Angsty Heero! XD Sorry, I just had to go against to normally angsty Duo I read everywhere.

Sleeping - Chapter 3

A motionless body lied in the darkness of the room. To tell the truth, it wasn't a room, with walls and a ceilling and a floor. There was no furniture, no heat nor cold, no light, no ground, no walls. It was the nothing. Still, there was the body of a boy floating in it, seeming lifeless. Then, out of the blackness came images. At first they were blury and in black and white. After a couple of minutes, the images came out more clearly and soon became some kind of movie going in slow motion. Then the 2D movie slowly formed a 3D universe like an hologram in the nothing surrounding the boy.

The body began to twitch slightly and his eyelids moved, but didn't open. He knew... He knew what was happening, he knew where he was and why he was there. He knew that it was about time he faced what he'd done and pay for it. He knew it all. What he didn't know was why he was still alive; he knew he was. He should have died, he thought. He deserved it, all of it. He didn't deserve to be cared for, for he hurt everyone who did. He hadn't deserved their friendship to. But hush for now. He had to pay. He had to face the memories and nightmares and wish to die.

Heero opened his eyes.

A masked person was bent over some paper he was currently filling when he looked up at his requested guest who had just said something quite shocking.

"Did he really?" asked the masked man.

"Yes sir. He did." Was Heero's short reply.

The masked man seemed to think a moment.

"Alright then. I trust you to carry the mission in both your places. Make sure the traitor dies."

"Yes sir."

"And take note that my orders has changed. The whole family is now the target."

"Sir?"

"I don't need to justify my orders to you, agent Wing. Go and do your job."

Heero bowed and left the room, his heart clenching with pain.

"HEEEROOOOOO!"

The little blond jumped on the japanese youth's back, sending the both of them to the ground with a 'omph!'.

"OhmyGod! Heero I'm sooo sorry. Are you okay?!"

They quickly got to their feet. The blond flushed in embarassement as Heero tried and catched his breath that has been knocked out of him with a tiny smile on his face.

"Hey - huf.... Quatre."

- - - - - - - - - - -

"Trowa..." Heero tried and pleaded again.

"No Heero, I won't. I will not do it."

"Please.... don't."

Trowa looked at his friend with sadness and gave him a tight hug. He closed his eyes as he whispered in Heero's ear.

"'Live by your emotions'. Isn't that what you always told me, Heero? You know I wont change my mind. I'm sorry but I will not do it."

He let go of Heero and turned his back on him. The japanese boy stayed where he was, fixing his gaze on his friend's back as he walked away. Trowa paused at the doorway and waved goodbye at his best friend before passing the door. He closed it silently behind him.

- - - - - -- - - - - -

"You know," Trowa was saying from his spot under the tree, "it's the first time I feel like living."

Heero just looked down at his friend ad he reajusted his position on the tree's branch. He knew Trowa well; they were like brothers though they shouldn't be bond in any way than professionnaly. Their job forbid emotionnal attachment, but they took the risk anyway.

The Japanese boy could see that Trowa had something on his mind, or should he say a certain someone. Heero was far from blind.

"Quatre is just so full of life," Trowa continued. "Every time we talk, no matter how depressed this whole situation with his father made him feel, he just..." Unable to describe his thoughts with words, the usually silent boy sighed and closed his eyes, a secret smile forming on his lips.

Heero knew it then. Of course, he had known for quite some time now that his best friend and Quatre Winner had developped a strong friendship, even if Trowa knew how dangerous his emotions towards the blond boy could be for himself. But now, something had changed and Heero knew what.

"You love him." Heero stated calmly.

There was a moment of silence before he recieved an answer from Trowa. " ..... yes. I do."

Fire and smoke everywhere. One may think that this was hell. In a way, it was. The mansion that was once a great work of art had disapeared to make place for what looked like a battle field, although what had happened had been a bloody masacre. Just one bomb had made the trick and everybody was dead. Heero stood at the entrance of what had been the Winner's Mansion, his face as unreadable as ever. He was about to turn his back on the scene when a pained scream sliced through the smoke-thick air. The Japanese boy froze for a moment, the resumed walking away from it all. He didn't even stop when the scream began to form words.

"Quaaatre! Nooooo!!" was the hopeless cry.

Still, Heero walked away, a single tear rolling all the way to his chin.

- - - - - - - - - -- --

'Quatre... Trowa... '

Trowa was still alive; Heero was sure of it. How he had survived the explosion was still a mystery for the blue-eyed Asian. All Heero knew was that once Trowa find him, he's dead. To hell their past friendship, to hell their understanding of one another, to hell the fact that Heero felt awfully guilty for what he had done. And if Trowa ever find him, Heero would let him get his revenge. He deserved to die. It was as simple as that. He had to die...

... it was then that something unexpected happened.
